Troparion in Church Slavonic. Morning prayers

Slavic prayers are comparable to a strong amulet. They can help in a variety of endeavors and matters. It is noteworthy that in ancient times, people turned to their ancient deities in prayer requests. After the advent of Christianity, the meaning of the texts of Slavic prayers did not change, but in their prayer appeals, believing Slavs began to turn to God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos and other Saints.

For Slavic prayers to be effective, they should be read in a positive mood, and there should be no evil present in the soul.

The main commandments of the ancient Slavs when reading prayers are as follows:

To honor sacredly means to recognize the power of the bright sides of life.
To honor - translated from the Old Slavonic “CHI” - is the energy of life, and the word “thief” means “to appropriate.” The general interpretation is to receive light power from the Gods and fill your own soul with it.
Praise - in prayers the Gods are glorified, but their power is not used to solve their own problems.
To live according to conscience - “SO” in the Old Slavonic language meant joint good news. This meant that you should not do to others what you do not wish for yourself.
Living in harmony with the surrounding nature - this made it possible to find life harmony in accordance with natural vibrations.

In ancient times, the Slavs prayed at temples. This ancient pagan temple, which was always located behind an equipped altar, used to install various sacred objects. In these places, not only prayers were offered to the Gods, but also rituals were performed by priests.

Today, an improvised “temple” can be arranged in your own apartment on a separate table. To do this, you need to choose a place for the altar and place images of the deity on it. It is best to carve it out of wood with your own hands. This will allow you to fill the idol with your energy.

When equipping a place for offering Slavic prayers, the following requirements must be met:

The created deity should be placed on a piece of new fabric, and a small natural stone should be placed next to it.
Provide a place to place candles and incense.
Place the ritual dish and cup.

If you live in a private house, then it is recommended to offer Slavic prayers in nature. For example, to do this you can go to a tree. It is also recommended to travel outside the city to pray to the ancient Slavic gods. In this case, the best place is considered to be a spring.

More important are the basic rules that must be followed when reading Slavic prayers:

The texts of ancient appeals to the Slavic gods are pronounced in a whisper, but very clearly.
You can only pray if you are healthy and in a good mood, otherwise your prayers will not be heard.
There must be faith in the soul that Slavic prayers are effective and contribute to the harmonization of life.

Read morning prayers

The most famous morning prayer of the ancient Slavs is considered to be the appeal to Dazhdbog.

It sounds in modern Russian as follows:

“The Red sun is rising on the eastern side, I praise you, our Dazhdbozh, as the whole world is illuminated with a bright light and filled with joy. My soul wants grace, since I am your Grandson (Granddaughter), May God. I look at the sky, which wakes up with the sun and fills my heart with joyful trembling. At this moment Dazhdbog enters my soul. Accept my greetings, Clear Morning Sun! My soul is open to you, bless it, fill my body with health, make me strong and strong, so that my life becomes blessed. Without You, Clear Sun, no one will be able to breathe or move. I am waiting for your blessing, Dazhdbog, for lightness and clarity, so that all my good undertakings will be successful on this day, and Falsehood and Untruth will sink into a deep Pit! Glory to Dazhdbog!”

The Slavs also often read morning praise.

Its text goes like this:

“Kin of the Most High! You are one for us, but in many manifestations. You are the true Light for us and the only Justice. You exude Eternal Life, you are a spring of boundless Love. You heal our souls and hearts. We praise you, come to us and rule us. We bring glory to you through our work, becoming wiser and stronger every day of our lives. We are true defenders of the Bright World and our righteous Family. You, God, inspire us, fill us with joy, bestow courage and perseverance, teach us patience. This will allow us to pass life path with honor. Thank you God."

Text of evening prayers

The list of Slavic prayers also includes a special prayer that is recommended to be read in the evening hour.

It sounds like this:

“Kin of the Most High! I glorify You as your blood child. Night has come to Earth, Veles steps on it. Our souls walk in the night through Nav, calling to their ancestors in deep sleep. Veles the Father will take care of our souls, so that we will meet Dazhdbog with joy in our souls in the morning. Glory to the Native Gods!

Also often before going to bed, prayers were read for one’s family. Such praise might sound like this:

“Kin of the Most High! I call upon God’s blessing Light into our lives! Come and bless with your strength! Natural water - spring, cleanse our souls and thoughts, bring health. Life was born thanks to you, so renew our souls, fill our family with strength. Let our children be stronger and wiser than us. Amen".

When they talk about ancient Slavic prayers of the Slavs, they mean traditional ritual words that the Slavs used to communicate with Higher powers. The word “prayer” was not present in Old Church Slavonic vocabulary. This is due to the fact that the Slavs glorified their Gods and... Unlike Christians, they never asked them for anything. That is why the Slavs called appeals to God “glorification.”

Praises or appeals to the Higher Powers have always been mandatory attribute all major ritual holidays. In addition, every day the ancient Slavs read morning and evening praises; such prayers were offered before meals, before traveling and before starting any business. But it should be understood that ancient Slavic prayers were not canon, turning to God was not considered an obligatory event, it was necessary to do this only when the desire arose. For example, if a person wanted to praise God for a successful day, then he did it. Very often praises were offered to Perun for his victory over his enemies.

Ancient Slavic prayers are very diverse. It is important to choose the right prayer address. The words must be pronounced very sincerely and it is not at all necessary to follow the existing texts. It is allowed to replace both individual words and individual phrases in your own way. It is important that prayer comes from the depths of the soul.

There is no such thing as a “main ancient Slavic prayer.” The prayers of the ancient people are distinguished by their individuality. In order to understand how ancient Slavic prayers were read, you need to get acquainted with the folklore and ethnography of the Slavs.

Once upon a time, I asked the “all-knowing grannies” in the Church about everything that I didn’t understand. Once again I asked about reading the Psalms: how to read, what to pray for, etc. To which the granny answered me that the Psalter must be read only in Church Slavonic, otherwise “LOW”! I was very upset and began to study the literacy of the church language. But I was tempted to ask the priest about this in confession. Father smiled into his beard and said that the Psalter can and should be read in the language you understand. The Lord understands all languages, you just need to sincerely ask Him, with all your heart! And he also advised me to ask all questions only to the priest and never listen to know-it-all grandmothers!

Question to the priest

Question to the priest- section of the site “Russian Faith”, which is especially popular. We're getting new ones questions to the Orthodox priest almost every day, and especially many of them come from beginning Christians who have only heard about the Old Believers, but have not had the opportunity to get to know them better.

We know how difficult it can be - cross the threshold of the temple and ask your question to the priest live. And of course, personal conversation and a living word of consolation will never replace electronic correspondence. However, we need spiritual counsel.

We believe that all the efforts of our shepherds will not be in vain, even if at least one of those who asked receives some spiritual benefit!

Ask a question to the priest

Is it possible to read prayers in Russian?

You bet very serious question, the answer to which is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. For a person deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition, it seems unthinkable how one can address God in modern Russian. But for a person just coming to faith, the Church Slavonic language is unusual and difficult to understand. In church, the texts of Holy Scripture are read in Church Slavonic, and in literature, in sermons, in letters and responses to contemporaries, we most often use the text of the Synodal translation of the Bible into Russian. But we use it only to convey the idea more clearly. modern man, although this translation is quite archaic. In passing, I would like to note that work is currently underway to publish an Old Believer translation into Russian of the Holy Gospel.

It must be said that the Church Slavonic translation of the Bible and liturgical texts is more accurate and closer to the original than the Synodal translation. Experts in the field of linguistics talk about the difficulty of interpreting prayer formulas and the impossibility of accurately conveying liturgical semantics using the tools of modern language.

A wonderful article about our liturgical language was published in the preface to the “Prayer Book”, published by the Old Believer Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church (M., 1988, etc. pp. 8-9). It briefly but essentially reveals the meaning of the Church Slavonic language and the reasons why the Church cannot switch to modern Russian. Here I will only quote one paragraph.

The centuries-old prayer experience of the Russian Church shows that the Church Slavonic language is perfectly suited for prayerful communication with God. After all, a conversation with God is not a conversation with a person. Therefore, the language of prayer must be different from the language of ordinary speech. The Church Slavonic language gives prayers and praises a sublime style, distracting the soul from vain earthly worries and sorrows. In this regard, the language of our worship is an inexhaustible treasure.

Start praying according to the prayer book, and you will see how organically the words of prayer flow from your heart.

Liturgical and modern Russian languages are closely related. Therefore, I would advise you to make an effort on yourself and try to master Church Slavonic. We can recommend the following tutorial: Pletneva A.A., Kravetsky A.G. Church Slavonic language: Textbook. ed. – 5th ed., stereotypical. – M.: AST-PRESS KNIGA, 2013 – 272 p.. It is also necessary to use a dictionary, although not many church words require translation. Further, when reading Holy Scripture, be sure to refer to the patristic interpretations. Compare Church Slavonic and Synodal translations. This will allow you to understand that translation does not provide a complete understanding of the meaning. After all, the Lord also to the apostles opened the mind to understand the Scriptures"(Luke 24:45). Obviously, such work requires some effort and time, but it is generously rewarded. You will gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and worship. " For I want mercy, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.“says the Lord (6:6).

I can give you an example. On Holy Spirit Monday the following words of the Apostle Paul are read in church: “ ...redeeming time"(Eph. 5:16). And in the Synodal translation in the same place we read: “ ... valuing time" Do you agree that this instruction in Church Slavonic sounds much deeper and stronger? And here is his interpretation.

“Amma Theodora asked Archbishop Theophilus: what is the meaning of the Apostle’s saying: “Time redeems”? He answered: “This means that our entire earthly life is similar to the production of trade. For example: when the time comes when reproaches will fall on you, you atone for this time with humility and gain benefit (profit) for yourself. Thus, everything that is contrary and hostile to us can, if we want, turn to our advantage” (Alphabetical Patericon).

I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the translations of the psalms made by the outstanding Russian philologist, academician Sergei Sergeevich Averintsev (1937-2004). See for example: Selected Psalms / Translation and commentary by S.S. Averintseva. – M.: St. Philaret Orthodox Christian Institute, 2005. – 176 p. These translations are remarkable in that they make it possible to convey to modern people the meaning of the psalms, firstly, in the Russian language (in which modern words, barbarisms and borrowings are excluded), and secondly, in a Russian language that also conveys the imagery of the original, allows feel the structure of psalmic speech.

In conclusion, I must say a few words about the modern Russian language. This phrase is often used to denote common language, excluding anything that sounds “archaic.” " The use of such language" - writes S.S. Averintsev, - “creates the illusion that the environment in which the action takes place is modernity. … God comes to the believer in the reality of today; but I'm afraid that He will not come to the isolationist ideological space that does not want to know anything but itself"(op. cit. pp. 148 and 150).

The prayer rule should be read daily by every true Christian. A prayer book in Church Slavonic is most suitable for believers who are well acquainted with the works of the Orthodox religion and provides an opportunity to come into contact with eternity - to feel the connection of time between the birth of Christianity and modernity.

A collection of basic prayers for daily reading is designed to strengthen people's faith and contribute to their spiritual improvement. The Orthodox prayer book contains a variety of the most popular sacred texts, knowing which, a person can turn to the Lord for help in difficult moments of life that cannot be resolved without his support.

A prayer book in Church Slavonic, the language adopted in the times of Cyril and Methodius, allows you to fully experience the mystery of prayer and is an excellent gymnastics for the developing inquisitive human mind.

At first it will seem that ancient letters are heavy and inconvenient to read, especially when they are written in Old Church Slavonic script, but if you start with the sacred texts that the complete church prayer book contains, then soon this activity will be so fascinating that you want to study and enrich your vocabulary with more and more new ones (forgotten old) words that are the heritage of their ancestors for the Slavs. In addition, prayer books are often equipped with a brief dictionary-interpreter of Old Church Slavonic words and phrases.

Church Slavonic language: basics

It is, of course, best to start learning an ancient “dead” language from childhood. The initial assimilation of images that symbolize Old Church Slavonic words is much more productive than banal memorization of alphabetic characters. It’s not easy to understand, because this language arose solely for the needs of the church, based not on the Old Russian, but on the Old Bulgarian language.

In a believing family, prayer texts are first memorized by the child by ear, because prayers are sung, not read, so they are easy to understand. Then you can invite the child to create his own prayer book, where the main prayers that are already familiar to the child will be listed. The brochure should be signed to make it “native”, personalized. This way, the child will immediately, without being reminded, take his own book and read the morning and evening rules.

If a family lives, literally, life and culture Orthodox Church, then it will be absolutely easy to instill a love for the Church Slavonic language in children.

For an adult, in addition to self-studying at home, it would be useful to attend church services (possibly with a prayer book) and, listening to the priest’s chants, compare them with the text written in Church Slavonic, so to speak, develop memory in two ways - aurally and visually.

The Orthodox Church is reluctant to part with the usual dogmas and canons, extremely slowly accepting the technologies and new norms emerging in the world. Originally written down in Church Slavonic, the prayers of Byzantine priests are still used today. And the fact that the majority of parishioners, who are not examples of a true believer, understand prayer at best, through the word, is not a reason to translate it into familiar Russian, from the point of view of Orthodoxy.

Features of the Church Slavonic prayer book

The ancient Slavic language differs from the modern language not so much in words as in accents and auxiliary unreadable letters, such as a solid sign at the end of words, as well as a bizarre font that is difficult for the untrained eye to perceive. If you are serious about conquering linguistics and making this language your own, it is better to purchase a textbook of the Church Slavonic language. To read prayers in the Old Russian dialect, you can use the dictionary application in the prayer book. With it, getting to know Church Slavonic will be easier.

The complete Orthodox prayer book in Church Slavonic contains the standard prayer rule (a set of mandatory prayers) and canons (brief and in full): to the Mother of God, Jesus and St. Andrew of Crete (penitential canon). The collection also includes sacred texts offered for reading on icons of saints and for all needs.

What is prayer? Prayer is a tool. Our Ancestors praised the Gods, but did not ask them for anything. Doxology is the creation of special vibrations, because language is given to us in order to glorify, that is, to catch the resonance of attunement with the Gods (certain energy) with the help of words. Prayer is a vibration series associated with a certain hypostasis: either we turn to a specific God who controls specific elements, or to one of his manifestations - protection, help, support. This is a technique of attunement with certain vibrations. When we are attuned to this vibration, we appropriate this Power for our evolution. When a person believes, when he has an inner conviction that the object to which he is turning will help him, help and support come. At the same time, it doesn’t even matter whether we speak in our own words or without words, just a mental message and a mental touch to God works miracles. It is important from the Soul, with understanding, to the point, then prayer works very powerfully. And here it is important to accept these vibrations. Often a person is not ready to accept high vibrations if he lives for a very long time in low ones: aggression, anger, irritation and internal negativity. When we pray, we tune in to the vibration of God and use His Power. Therefore, prayer must be glorified, said, and not spoken.

Prayer to Veles and ritual to attract wealth

In the morning, before the holiday (before Veles Day, December 6), so early, when the stars are still visible in the sky, you need to take a large bill. Then put it on the altar in the room under the towel. After seven days, this bill must be spent. Also, over this bill three times you need to say the glory of Veles: God is Rich, wealth is in God, there are so many stars in the sky, there are so many fish in the water, there is so much wealth in me. Veles-Father, come to the family, walk around, and give me, Granddaughter of Dazhdbozhy/Grandson of Dazhdbozhy, wealth. Glory to Veles! Glory to the Almighty!
It is also recommended to keep poured ears of corn on the altar at home - this is a symbol of fertility and prosperity.
Dazhdbog (Dazhbog, Dazhbog) - “the giving god”, in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, a positive solar deity who closes winter and opens spring, the keeper of the earth’s keys, the god of the harvest. It was also believed that it endowed a person with skill, wisdom and physical strength. Son of Svarog. Over time, the power of Dazhdbog became greater, and he began to be considered a deity who bestows all benefits, that is, a “giving god.” And the well-known expression “God willing” is a distortion of the ancient Slavic “Dazhdbog”. It was believed that Dazhdbog's dwelling was located in the east. There, in the land of eternal summer, his golden palace was located, from where Dazhdbog rode out every morning in a golden chariot. The chariot was harnessed to four white horses with golden manes. And every morning, Dazhdbog’s sister named Morning Dawn led them to heaven. And so Dazhdbog made a circular detour throughout the sky. When the detour was completed, in the evening Dazhdbog was met by his other sister, Vechernyaya Zarya. She unharnessed the horses and took them to the stable. And when Dazhdbog rode across the sky in his chariot, a bright light emanated from his fiery shield. But in the evening his shield became dull from the dust and turned red. It was also believed that in the fall Dazhdbog died, but after the winter solstice, when the day became longer again, a new, young Dazhdbog was born. It was also believed that Dazhdbog was a deity who closes winter and opens summer. At the same time, he closed the land for the winter and gave the keys to the birds. The birds took the keys and carried them to Iriy. With the arrival of spring, birds brought keys from Iriy to Dazhdbog, and with them he opened the earth. Also, Dazhdbog was considered the patron and ancestor of the Slavic tribes.

Prayers to Dazhdbog

May our Light God! You hold our Earth in the abyss, creating great life and beauty, giving warmth and food to your children. Thy love rushes to us, with the holiness and wisdom of our Faith. Heeding your affection, we do glory to you, from the earth to Iriy. Let her fly like a clear bird, informing all the Ancestors that we honor and worship the Most High Sun, our Blood Father - our Dazhbog. Glory to Dazhbog!

Prayers Alive

Alive (Zhivana, Siva) - in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the goddess who “gives life”, as well as the embodiment of vitality and the opposition to death. The Goddess Alive is the personification of fruitful power. Goddess of birth, life, beauty of all earthly things, springtime. The Goddess Zhiva is the daughter of the Goddess Lada and the God Svarog. According to ancient beliefs, the cuckoo was often perceived as the embodiment of the Goddess Alive. Our ancestors believed that the goddess of Life turned into a bird and foreshadowed the continuation of all living things. The cuckoo flies from distant Iria, the heavenly paradise, where the souls of the dead are carried away, where the maidens of fate reside, and shows us the magic clock. From childhood, we all remember stories about how the cuckoo counts down the hours of our birth, life and death. Having heard the sounds she makes, we listen to them and ask her a question: “Cuckoo-cuckoo, how many years do I have left to live?” The bird probably doesn’t hear our conversation with it, but we just want it to respond with its endless “cuckoo”, this makes it somehow calmer. The cuckoo also foreshadowed the beginning of summer and the accompanying thunderstorms. By her voice they wondered how successful the marriage would be, whether they would be able to reap a good harvest. There is also an ancient folk ritual of honoring the cuckoo. The girls overshadowed her, worshiped each other and curled wreaths on the birch tree. Such actions were associated with the awakening of the forces of nature, with the blossoming of spring. Thus, while honoring the cuckoo, the Slavs also idolized the glorious Goddess Zhiva, who took her form. They addressed her in messages about longevity, prosperity, good health. People believed that if the Goddess had mercy, she could change a person’s fate and give him more long life. In an effort to show respect to the Goddess Zhiva, the Slavs organized special holidays in her honor. Wide celebrations were organized in forests, meadows and fields to thank the beautiful Goddess Alive, the creator of everything young and living. Women armed themselves with brooms and performed a ritual dance around the fire, danced in circles and sang songs, thereby clearing the place of evil spirits. Rejoicing at the arrival of spring, according to custom, everyone jumped over the fire, believing that with the help of fire one can be cleansed of obsessions after a tiring winter. People said about this: “whoever jumps high, death is far away.”

Glorious and Triglorious be Zhiva-Zhivitsa, Goddess of life and bearer of the Ancestral Light! We see how you descend into the rays of Grandfather Dazhdbog, enter the sources of our bodies and fill us with health, strength and goodness. Without you there is no life in a person, but there is only Mother Mara, who announces the end of the life of Man. Now we pray and glorify the Light of the Most High Family, which comes with You and radiates through our palms. In that Light all life exists and outside of it there is nothing, then the Generator Rod itself descends in Your face. Glory flows to You, hundred-voiced, Originator of life, Mother Alive! Glory to Zhiva-Zhivitsa!

Let me know the cause of my illness, let me hear the voice of the Gods, who speak through illness and direct me to the path of Rule. See, Goddess, that I comprehend the truth, and from this health and vigor return to me, longevity in the body is established, and illnesses recede! So be it! Glory to the Alive!

Also, Lada was the personification of plant power. And there was a custom when, at the beginning of March, girls and children went out to call on spring and asked Lada for permission to do this ritual. There are several legends about Lada. One of them talks about how the whole cold winter The goddess Lada languished in captivity of thick clouds and snow. But every time, with the arrival of spring, the thunder god Perun took his lightning arrows and melted the snow. And when he did this, Lada appeared on earth again, along with warm weather and rains. And then Lada walked through the meadows and forests, and behind her young grass grew, and buds blossomed on the trees. And flowers covered the ground. And when it became very warm on the ground, then the boys and girls began to dance in circles. And then the goddess Lada noted who was destined to love whom, and who was destined to create a family. This is how Red Spring came to earth. There is also a story from other sources about how Lada and the god Svarog created people. This happened after the battle between the light gods and the dark forces ended. By this time, the world tree had already grown, connecting three kingdoms - Rule, Reality and Nav. And in Yavi, the darkness gradually dissipated, and Svarog and Lada populated it with various animals, fish and birds, and grew various flowers and herbs. And then Svarog and Lada went out into the forest clearing and began to have fun. And they began to throw stones over their shoulders onto the ground. And so, Mother Earth washed these pebbles with dew, and they turned into people. From the pebbles that Lada threw, girls were born, and from the pebbles thrown by Svarog - well done. But the goddess Lada thought and decided that this would not be enough. She then took the sticks and began to rub them together. Divine sparks flared up, people were born from them - girls and boys. This is how people appeared in Yavi. And then the god Svarog and the goddess Lada bequeathed to people to live according to the laws that were carved on the Alatyr stone.

Lele's Prayer

Lelya is the goddess of spring and youth in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs. Also, this goddess was considered the patroness of girls, the first spring shoots and the first sprouts. She is also the patroness of girlish love and one of the women in labor. Her name is often mentioned in love and wedding rituals. Even in ancient times, in the spring there was a holiday called Lelya, which was called Lyalnik. During this holiday, girls wove wreaths of spring flowers. She was the daughter of the goddess Lada and, according to some sources, the wife of the Fire Magus. There is a story telling about the Fiery Volkh and Lela. One day, the Fiery Magus Indrik, the king of all animals, defeated him and seized his kingdom for himself. And Volkh took the wife of Indrik, the snake Paraskea, as his wife. But Paraskeya, together with other snakes, began to persuade the Fiery Volkh to capture Iriy and become the ruler of the whole world. Volkh succumbed to persuasion, took the guise of Finist the Falcon, and Iriy flew. Arriving in Iriy, he sat down on a branch of an apple tree with golden apples. And these apples were not ordinary ones - if Volkh had pecked such an apple, he would have become the ruler of the Universe. But then the Fiery Volkh suddenly heard the song of the goddess Lelya. Yes, he fell in love with Lelya so much that he forgot about everything in the world. And after that he began to secretly court Lelya and visit her in the guise of a falcon. But the sisters Lelya, Zhiva and Morena found out about this. Yes, they told Svarog that someone was visiting Lelya at night. Svarog came to Lela, but did not see anyone, for the Fiery Volkh, so as not to be noticed, turned into a feather. And Lelya released this feather in the yard. But Lelya’s sisters then decided to stick needles on the window. They poked the needles, and the next time Volkh, in the form of a falcon, flew to Lela, he could not get through to her, but only injured all his wings. And then Volkh flew back to the Dark Kingdom, finally shouting to Lele that if she wanted to find him, then the path would look for him in the Dark Kingdom. And then Lelya went in search of him. She walked for a long time until, finally, the path led her to the Dark Kingdom. And there Lelya found Finist the Falcon, bewitched by the Snake Paraskea. And then the spell of Paraskei fell from Finist, and he and Lelya returned to Iriy, where they got married. And the snake Peraskei Veles from Dark Kingdom didn't release.

Let the glory be distributed to the Goddess Lele, for She is the great joy of our hearts!

Mokosh's prayer

Mokosh is a female deity, the patroness of weaving and spinning. Also, she was considered the goddess of agriculture, harvest and abundance, the mother of all living things. Mokosh is often mentioned in some sources along with women in labor. Mokosh is one of the most ancient deities, and according to some versions, she even personified the Cheese Mother Earth at first. But over time, the goddess gradually acquired new functions. In the North, Mokosh was depicted as a woman with a large head and long arms. Also, on embroideries, she was depicted either with a comb for carding flax in both hands, or with comb-like hands. Also, according to some versions, Mokosh was invisible, but if she suddenly appeared in the hut, it could be recognized by the buzzing of the spindle. Therefore, in ancient times it was believed that it was forbidden to leave an uncleaned tow overnight, and it was also forbidden to spin on holidays. At times, it was believed, Mokosh could interfere in various household chores - for example, spinning yarn or putting things in order in the hut. Also, in ancient times, Mokosh was also considered the goddess of fate, spinning the thread of fate. She began to be considered the patroness of weaving and spinning only in a later period. And with the advent of Christianity, some of its functions were transferred to Paraskeva Friday. As for the origin of her name, according to some versions and sources it is believed that it came from the words “wet” and “get wet.” According to others, her name comes from the Indo-European words “ma” - “mother” and “kosh” - “lot”, that is, the goddess of fate. She was often depicted on embroidery. On towels for spring ceremonies she was depicted with her hands raised to the sky, as if she asked the heavenly gods to send down rain and irrigate the fields with it. And by the days of the summer solstice, when the ears of corn were already growing, Mokosh was depicted with her hands lowered to the ground and surrounded by solar circles.

Makosha, in Great Glory you come to us from Iria, creating prosperity for your children. Your hands bend towards us with fruitful branches, and we see Your smile in the warmth of autumn. You give us rich harvests and we honor and bow to the Holy Land - Makosha - our nurse. With love we glorify You as Your faithful children.

Prayer to Mokoshe for the conception and birth of a child

I pray to You for the life-giving power, for the holy and bright power, the one that makes the wives of the earthly race Mother of God, and brings the souls of our relatives’ Ancestors into our world. Bless me, Nanny, and autumn with great fertility, so that I may bring into the Reality of the Ancestors of my husband’s family, the bright and righteous souls that are in Navi. You are our loving and affable parent, glorious and tri-glorious, remain in the earthly race! Grant me good health, so that my children will be born easily and in joy, so that my burden will be born as offspring, to the glory of the Orthodox people. Let God's grace, bright thoughts and Thy wisdom settle in my soul. I must live according to Truth and Honor, with my husband in great love. Glory to Mokosh!

I will offer prayers and praise to you, for you are an all-loving and all-good guardian of the wives of the earthly race. Glory to Makosha!

Prayer to Perun

Perun is one of the main deities in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the thunder god, the patron of the prince and his squad. A deity armed with a bow and arrows and a battle ax with a club. Son of the god Svarog. It was believed that Perun could throw lightning at trees and set them on fire. He could even hit his house with his lightning. To avoid this, in ancient times, to protect against lightning and the wrath of Perun, many people carved circles with six spokes, the so-called “thunder signs,” on their huts.

According to some sources, Perun was powerful in the summer, but in the winter his strength disappeared, and in the winter Perun died. However, with the arrival of spring, he came to life again, and his strength awakened. And with the arrival of the first birds in the spring, Perun smashed the cloud-dungeon with his club. Perun was a deity who sent rain to the earth, on which crops and life depended. As a rule, he was depicted as a tall and middle-aged man with a beard, riding a horse or riding in a fiery chariot. In his right hand he held a bow, and in his left a quiver of arrows. His idol was made of wood, with a silver head and a golden mustache. An idol of Perun was installed in oak groves. At the same time, the priest of Perun had to maintain an unquenchable fire in front of the idol of the deity, in which oak wood burned. Perun is often considered the supreme deity of the ancient Slavs, but according to some versions, he became one quite late. Whereas before him the supreme deities were Rod, Svarog and Dazhdbog. In an even later period, with the advent of Christianity, part of the image of the thunder deity, along with part of its functions, was transferred to Saint Elijah the Prophet. He, like Perun, rode across the sky in a fiery chariot and threw his fiery lightning arrows at the Devil and evil spirits.

Great Father Perun! I address you as Your son, Your manifestation on earth. I ask You, manifest yourself through me, O Great Perun, I devote myself completely to You. Let Your eyes become my eyes, Your body my body, Your Spirit my Spirit. Your hands, my hands, my goals - Your goals. Let all Your qualities become inherent in me. Let Your Power become my Power and be manifested through me as Your highest manifestation on our Earth. Lead me, create me, manifest through me. So be it, for so it is and will be! Glory to You, Great Perun!

Perun, Our Father! Your Sword and Shield are thundering in Blue Svarga. We, Your faithful children, hear Your unspeakable Power, the Righteous Power given by the Family, in the Kole of Life You protect the way, You always protect the Russian family and us Orthodox. Protect our souls with the Holy Perunitsa, and our bodies with the Fire Thunderstorms, let them not touch us, but drive away our enemies. The Fire of Svarozh, the Fire of the Righteous Faith, the Holy One of God, burns in our souls. Therefore, we are always united with You, united in Triglav the Great, come to us at our call! Glory to Perun!

Prayer to Rarog

Rarog is a fiery bird in the beliefs of the ancient Western Slavs, sometimes associated with the cult of the hearth. In the beliefs of the ancient southern Slavs, it was believed that Rarog was born from an egg that was hatched by a man on a stove for nine days and nine nights. As a rule, Rarog was depicted in the form of a bird of prey with sparkling and flaming feathers, from whose beak flames burst out.

Glory to Rarog, who kindles the fire of faith in souls! We call you the heavenly falcon, so that you may descend from the Blue Svarga and overshadow my relatives with your light. Your power is majestically incomprehensible, in you the light of Rule, Reveal and Navi exist, for you are the victorious Spirit of the Right Faith-Veda! I see how, in your radiance, my family is multiplying, righteous and honest people, rich and wise, strong and brave, are coming to us! I see how my relatives are drawn to the Ancestral Fire, glorifying the Gods at the Orthodox Temples! I see a very great stake, that they raised their hands to Svarga, glorifying the Gods of Rule! And as I see, so it is, from now and forever, from century to century! Glory to Rarog!

Prayer to Rod

Rod - in ancient Slavic beliefs, this is a very ancient deity who once gave life to all living things in this world. At the same time, the genus is the personification of fate, destined, the Universe and the harvest. Rod was a deity who sent the souls of people from heaven to earth when a child was born. And Rod determined his future fate. Also, Rozhanitsy are associated with the Rod, who, according to some sources, also determined the fate of a newborn child. According to ancient Slavic myths, at the very beginning there was nothing but the world's golden egg in the void. And in this egg the god Rod slept. And in a dream he saw a wonderful world in which there were gods and people, light and darkness, life and death, truth and falsehood. And Rod continued to sleep in the egg. And the egg itself grew and gained strength. And then, one day, the god Rod decided that it was time to awaken. He decided so, and Love arose in his soul. And Rod fell in love with everything he invented. And then, he split the egg into pieces, and out of it came the heavenly and earthly firmament, the heavenly and earthly waters, light and darkness. And from the face of the god Rod emerged the sun in a golden boat and a month with stars in a silver boat. After this, Rod took the rainbow and cut its umbilical cord, thus separating the earthly waters from the heavenly waters with a rocky firmament. After the division of the waters, the Rod also divided light and darkness, truth and falsehood. And from Rod’s breath, Lada, the goddess of love, appeared. Lada turned into the bird Swa and flew over the ground. Then, the Rod gave birth to three kingdoms: the heavenly kingdom of Rule, the middle kingdom of Reality and dark kingdom Nav. And a seed fell from outer space. And from this seed grew the World Tree itself, a huge oak tree, whose roots went to Nav, and whose trunk went along Yavi, then its top, its crown, went to Prav. And everything would have been fine, but only everything in this world was mixed up, and there was no one to keep order. Therefore, the god Rod called the bird Sva to him, and created an assistant for himself, the god Svarog. And the god Svarog raised the sky above the sea. And then he went across the sky, which was named Svarga in his honor, in order to look around the world from there. And then Svarog paved a way in the sky for the sun, so that it could rise and set. And then Svarog saw that in Reality there was only one sea, and there was no Raw Land. And then Svarog went to look for land. He searched for land for a long time, until finally, on the seventh day of his search, he saw the high Riphean Mountains. And on the top of those Ripei mountains lay the white-flammable stone Alatyr. And the god Svarog took the Alatyr-stone and threw it into the sea. The sea began to foam, became agitated, and began to boil and thicken. And thus the earth appeared in Reveal. But this land was small, and therefore it immediately sank into the sea. Svarog saw such a thing, he was saddened, and then he turned to Rod so that he could help him get the Earth from the bottom. And two birds appeared at the behest of Rod, diving into the sea, right in the place where the earth sank. There were no birds for a long time. Now the day has passed, and they are still not there. The second day is over, and they are still not there. And only on the third day did they rise back to the surface, holding grains of earth in their bags. Svarog was happy about this, took the grains in his hands and began to crush them. And he asked Rod to help revive the Cheese Earth. And then the sun began to warm the earth and cool the month. And then the winds blew. They blew the earth out of Svarog's hands and scattered it in all directions. So the earth grew, and the World Tree then gained strength. After the earth grew, the god Rod decided to give birth to other gods and creatures. He created a mighty serpent so that he would hold the earth so that it would not go under water. And then Rod created the goddess Mokosh, who began to spin the threads of fate. And then he gave birth to the Rod of deities Rozhanits. And Svarog decided to create giants asilks, who were destined to work on the structure of the world at the behest of Svarog. Asilki mountains were dragged, destroyed or new ones were built. And in the depths of the earth Svarog created three stone vaults for underground inhabitants. And then many asp snakes were born in the depths of the underground. Then, Svarog found and picked up from the seabed the stone Alatyr, which he had once thrown. And as soon as Svarog took out Alatyr, this stone began to grow, filling with silver and whiteness. Yes, he became like a stone to all stones. And then, at the behest of the god Rod himself and at the request of the god Svarog, laws were carved on the Alatyr stone by which one should live. And from under the stone flowed fertile rivers and springs with living and dead water. Then Svarog created sacred fire in the sky, and created a wonderful one for the blacksmith. And in this blacksmith, Svarog began to forge various things - a bowl, a plow, an ax. This is how the world was created.

Prayer to Svarog

Svarog is a deity, a blacksmith god and, accordingly, the patron saint of blacksmiths. He was one of the main deities, the god of heavenly fire, who brings the sun into the sky every morning. Svarog was usually depicted in the guise of a young blacksmith. Also, according to ancient legends, it was he who dropped blacksmith’s tongs from the sky and taught people how to forge iron. He gave people heavenly fire, without which it is impossible to make weapons and jewelry. And it was Svarog who forged the first plow and taught people to plow the land. Since Svarog taught people to forge iron, it began to be revered as a sacred metal, and it was believed to have magical properties. Therefore, iron objects, for example, an iron horse shoe, were often used as amulets against evil spirits. Also, Svarog was the deity who created the first laws by which people had to live. He was the father of Dazhbog and Svarozhich. As some legends say, after Svarog gave birth to Dazhbog and Svarozhich, and with them other bright gods, he retired, and his children began to rule the world in his place.

Prayer to Svarog before starting any business

Svarozhe, Dido of the Heavenly Family, You are the creator of the Explicit world - the sun, stars and Mother Earth. In You is the great power of creation, which manifests itself in the owners of our race. You are the beginning of all good deeds that are born in the hearts, ripen in the mind and bear fruit in reality. How can I begin without Your blessing? I pray to the Heavenly Father, may he bless my righteous cause, may he inspire me with his Light, so that I may do good and joy to the White Light, the Orthodox family, and my relatives. Glory to Svarog!

Svarozh, Our Father, with clear fire, cleanse the bodies and souls of Orthodox people who need it. Let all illnesses burn in the holy fire and merge into the earthly fire, and pure and righteous power come to us. We ask the Heavenly Father to fill the souls of the Orthodox Rodnovers with the healing Sun and the power of the Trisvelline. Let their minds be bright and pure, like Your rays of the sun. And the bodies are strong and healthy, like Mother Earth. Let children grow up to the joy of their parents, inheriting the exploits of the heroes of the Orthodox Family! Glory to the Native Gods!

Prayers to Sventovit

Sventovit (Svyatovit) is the sun deity, as well as the main deity of the city and religious center of the Polabian Slavs of Arkona. There, in the temple dedicated to him, stood his four-faced idol. Sventovit was also associated with war and victory. Often depicted as a horseman. It was believed that he rode a white horse at night and fought with various evil spirits. The evil spirits could not defeat the bright god, and therefore they were very afraid of him.

White Light, Parent Light, Sventovit Winner! We say glory to You, for You are the God of Rule and Reveal. We sing songs for you and burn demands, for you are the Great Holiness. You are the visible World and the existence of Reveal, take care of us in the world of Navi, for through You we see the world, filled with the Right. That’s why we sing Great Praise and glory to you, dancing near the fire, we call on you. Come, come, Light One, come, come, Clear One, our Great God, Svetovite Red. You hold for us the Sun, the Earth, and the Stars, affirming your rule. And that’s why the world is strong, we will help you with the power of our lights! Glory to Sventovit!

Prayers to Simarglu

Simargl is a semi-divine creature, his functions are not completely clear, but it is likely that he is a messenger between heaven and earth. It appeared quite late in Slavic beliefs. According to some other versions, Simargl was the guardian of plants and greenery on the earth. According to other sources, he was the deity of fire and fertility. And according to a number of other sources, he had the gift of healing. As a rule, Simargl was depicted in the form of a bird or, sometimes, in the form of a bird-dog (a winged dog).

Great Fire God Simargl! I glorify your bright deeds, which sanctify our altars with the power of the Native Gods. You are the God of Rule and Reveal, Holy Vedogon, which connects us with the Blue Sky. With your life-giving flame you bless the donations of the earthly race, you sanctify utensils and amulets and cleanse the bodies and souls of the Slavs. My winged guardian, with your shadow protect the dwelling of my family - my home. So that troubles and misfortunes, difficulties and enmity will pass us by. Abide in every nook and cranny from Midnight to Noon, from East to West, in every room, cellar and attic. Shine a light near every window for me, so that the Gods from heaven can see the house of Dazhdbozhy’s grandson. May Fire-Svarozhich, Your brother, remain holy and holy in my midday! I will glorify You in every ritual, I will teach my children and grandchildren to honor Your grace, Great God of Fire! Glory to Simarglu!

Prayer to Striborg

Stribog is the deity of the wind in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, as well as the ancient deity of the sky. The winds were considered his grandchildren. Stribog was depicted with a bow behind his back. It was believed that when Stribog was angry, he began to hum, howl and collect clouds, as well as create storms at sea. All weather was in the power of this deity. Also, according to some sources, he had power over the stars and could prevent various evil intentions. But according to other sources, its functions remain unclear. There is a version that he was considered the supreme deity, known as different names- Stribog, Svarog, Div, Rod, Svyatovit. And then Stribog was supposed to be the god of the sky and the husband of the Raw Earth Mother. But gradually, over time, he was replaced by other deities, and then he became the deity of wind and air. Stribog was held in great esteem by the princely squads, who made trips not only by land, but also on boats by sea.
Prayer (praise) to Stribog
Omnipresent Our Father Stribog! I began to fulfill my plan, a bright cause, so that my family might increase in strength. You have endowed me with your great strength, so that I can clear the path to victory, so that the vast expanses of my native land will submit to me, so that I can sweep away dashing and enemy obstacles. Let my strength strike my enemies like Your arrows, and I will only know victory. Glory to Thee, God of Midnight, Midday, East and West, glory to Thy sons - the Stribozhich winds! Glory to Thy light that fills the Universe! Abide, O God, with me in heaven and on earth, in foreign lands and on the Native Land, because I am with You in fulfilling the wills of the Most High!

Prayers to Yarila

Yarilo (Yarila, Yar) - among the ancient Slavs the deity of spring fertility, vegetation and love. Often appears as a solar deity. It was believed that wherever he stepped with his bare feet, thick rye immediately grew there. Every year he died and was resurrected again in the spring. As a rule, he was depicted as a young man dressed in white robes. He was sitting on a white horse with a wreath of spring flowers on his head. At the same time, Yarilo held ears of corn in his hand, symbolizing life. And where his horse stepped, thick rye grew. Also, according to some traditions, Yarilo was depicted as a girl, also dressed in white clothes, with a wreath of spring flowers on her head and ears of rye in her hand.

God Yarilo, our clear Sun, you gallop across the sky on a white horse, bringing spring to the land of the Orthodox family. There is no enlightenment either in the sky or in my soul without your life-giving ray. Appear your face in the Blue Sky, and let your spirit tremble in my soul. You, our God, are the Father of the brave and victorious, you are the mighty knight who makes a man out of a young man. I pray to you, Father, drive the Basurs away from my family, illuminate the house and bless my relatives! May I be in unity, Yaril, with the Ancestors and Gods, inspired by You to walk my path, boldly and victoriously! Glory to Yarila!

“When you pray, do not say too much, as the pagans do: for they think that in their many words they will be heard; therefore, do not be like them: for your Father knows what you require before you ask.” Matt. 6:7-8

MORNING PRAYERS		EVENING PRAYERS
READ	LISTEN	READ	LISTEN

The prayer rule is the daily morning and evening prayers that Christians perform.

The rule can be general - mandatory for everyone, or individual, selected for the believer by the confessor, taking into account his spiritual state, strength and employment.

The rule consists of morning and evening prayers, which are performed daily. This vital rhythm is necessary, because otherwise the soul easily falls out of the prayer life, as if waking up only from time to time. In prayer, as in any big and difficult matter, “inspiration”, “mood” and improvisation are not enough.

Reading prayers connects a person with their creators: the psalmists and ascetics. This helps to gain a spiritual mood akin to their heartfelt burning. Our example in praying in other people’s words is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. His prayerful exclamations during the suffering of the cross are lines from the psalms (Ps. 21:2; 30:6).

There are three basic prayer rules:

1) a complete prayer rule, which is published in the “Orthodox Prayer Book”;

2) a short prayer rule; in the morning: “Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Virgin Mother of God”, “Rising from sleep”, “God have mercy on me”, “Creed”, “God, cleanse”, “To You, Master”, “ Holy Angel”, “Most Holy Lady”, invocation of saints, prayer for the living and the dead; in the evening: “Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Have mercy on us, Lord”, “Eternal God”, “Good King”, “Angel of Christ”, from “The Chosen Governor” to “It is worthy to eat”;

3) a short prayer rule of St. Seraphim of Sarov: three times “Our Father”, three times “Virgin Mother of God” and once “Creed” - for those exceptional days and circumstances when a person is extremely tired or very limited in time.

It is not advisable to completely omit the prayer rule. Even if the prayer rule is read without due attention, the words of the prayers, penetrating the soul, have a cleansing effect.

The main prayers should be known by heart (with regular reading, they are gradually memorized by a person even with a very poor memory), so that they penetrate deeper into the heart and so that they can be repeated in any circumstances. It is advisable to study the text of the translation of prayers from Church Slavonic into Russian in order to understand the meaning of each word and not pronounce a single word meaninglessly or without precise understanding. It is very important that those who begin to pray should expel resentment, irritation, and bitterness from their hearts. Without efforts aimed at serving people, fighting sin, and establishing control over the body and spiritual sphere, prayer cannot become the inner core of life.

In the conditions of modern life, given the workload and accelerated pace, it is not easy for the laity to set aside a certain time for prayer. The enemy of morning prayer is haste, and the enemy of evening prayer is fatigue.
Morning prayers are best read before starting anything (and before breakfast). As a last resort, they are pronounced on the way from home. Late in the evening it is often difficult to concentrate due to fatigue, so we can recommend reading the evening prayer rule in the free minutes before dinner or even earlier.

During prayer, it is recommended to retire, light a lamp or candle and stand in front of the icon. Depending on the nature of family relationships, reading prayer rule together, the whole family, or each family member separately. General prayer is recommended before eating food, on special days, before a holiday meal, and in other similar cases. Family prayer is a type of church, public prayer (the family is a kind of “home Church”) and therefore does not replace individual prayer, but only complements it.

Before starting prayer, you should sign yourself with the sign of the cross and make several bows, either from the waist or to the ground, and try to tune in to an internal conversation with God. The difficulty of prayer is often a sign of its true effectiveness.

Prayer for other people is an integral part of prayer. Standing before God does not alienate a person from his neighbors, but binds him to them with even closer ties. We should not limit ourselves to just praying for people close and dear to us. Praying for those who have caused us grief brings peace to the soul, has an impact on these people and makes our prayer sacrificial.

It is good to end the prayer with thanksgiving to God for the gift of communication and contrition for one’s inattention. When getting down to business, you must first think about what you have to say, do, see during the day and ask God for blessings and strength to follow His will. In the midst of a busy day, you need to say a short prayer (Jesus Prayer), which will help you find the Lord in everyday affairs.
